I'm thinking its syncros or or bearings. But again, I don't know all of what's involved.
I just was playing with it.
I can't wiggle the shaft much by hand.. But if I push forward on the stick it pushes the shaft back considerably.. well 1/8"ish.
THat is, if I push on 1st or 3rd gear it pushes the shaft back. (this is after tapping the nut tighter)
I am assuming this is something that a shade tree mechanic without a serious shop can accomplish? I have no press.. But I could probably bring an empty housing to a shop with a press.
Is this easier than it looks? Or a total 3 legged bitch?
I can call around looking for shops that will touch a manual transmission from a 34 year old british vehicle.. but.. i'm stricken with dismay at the moment.
At the same time not wanting to spend 2500 bucks (2000 + freight i assume 500) It would be all rebuilt. Replacing thrust washers .. gears and such can easily get to 1000 bucks...+ work.. leaving the transfer case undone.
I don't know.
Is it throwing away money to put a transmission in one of these things..
I mean from a straight fiscal standpoint.
